sHeavy - Blue Sky Mind + Slave To Fashion Demo (1996)

Date: 18 May 2009 07:05:00

By jamming 16 songs into their 1996 debut, Blue Sky Mind (ok, nearly half of these were originally demos that were added to later pressings), Canadians Sheavy tried to make up for their lack of experience and creative maturity with sheer heft. To the band's credit, while most stoner cum doom metal acts of the mid-90s seemed to owe their entire existence to the recent releases by Kyuss (and, to a lesser a degree, Monster Magnet), Sheavy cut out the middlemen and headed straight to the source: Black Sabbath.

That is, if you only judge them by singer Steve Hennessy, whose Ozzy impersonation is so perfect as to be positively creepy. But, in actual fact, Sheavy has a lot more to offer than re-hashed Sabbath dirges, and highlights such as "Mountains of Madness," "Cosmic Overdrive," and "First" (essentially their first composition) rock out quite convincingly. The instrumental "The Gun-it Jam" locks into some bluesy/spacey grooves, and acoustic numbers like "Domelight" and "Sea of Tomorrow" offer some mellow moments to boot. A pretty decent start, Blue Sky Mind paved the way for sounds that would find ever better expression on Sheavy's subsequent releases.

ВНИМАНИЕ!!!

В любом случае я должен рассказать об этом релизе. Диск (CDR) мне выслали из США в 2004 году. Вроде как и редкая вещь (в таком варианте было выпущено всего 1200 копий), но как диск копировали и с какого источника – понятия не имею. Уверен только в одном - звук на 100% соответствует стандарту CDDA.

И по поводу обложек. Они самодельные, рисовал сам в том же 2004 году. Понятное дело, группа sHeavy никогда не издавалась на Sony. Просто так получилось. Я видел - на некоторых ресурсах выкладывали mp3 этого альбома с моими обложками, и именно по этому решил выложить альбом именно с ними.

Так что не судите строго и принимайте релиз «как есть».

WARNING!!!

In any case, I must tell about this release. The disc (CDR), I was expelled from the United States in 2004. It seems like a rare thing (in this case was issued just 1200 copies), but as a disc copying, and did - have no idea. I am sure - the sound is 100% consistent with the standard CDDA.

And about the cover-art. They are handmade, painted himself in the same year 2004. Naturally, the group sHeavy never published on the Sony. I have seen - for some resources to put mp3 of this album with my cover, and it was decided to put on this album with them.

So do not judge strictly and accept release «as is».
